    If MN wins this year, it may be the first of a back to back.  Still ok with it? 

    Yep.  Whoever wins this year, it may be the first of a back to back.  That's sort of how back to back titles work.   You have to win one, and then win it again the following year.

    1. MSUM 

    2. Minn

    3. Michigan 

    4. Denver

    Agreed.  Denver getting #9 would be absolutely brutal.  Michigan getting #10 would be better...but still awful.  I could live with Minnesota equaling Wisconsin.  And the best result would be Mankato finally getting that first time.  

    Ole!

    These low scoring games aren't much fun to watch.  Just saying.

    The current average goals/game (presuming this game ends 2-0) is 4.64 goals/game.  To put that in perspective...

    Lowest scoring regionals (since switch to current regional system in 2003):
    2019: 50 Goals (4.17 goals/game)
    2004: 55 Goals (4.58 goals/game)
    2018: 60 Goals (5.00 goals/game)
    2007: 61 Goals (5.08 goals/game)
    2012: 62 Goals (5.17 goals/game)
    2013: 63 Goals (5.25 goals/game)
    2010: 64 Goals (5.33 goals/game)
    2011: 65 Goals (5.42 goals/game)
    2014: 65 Goals (5.42 goals/game)
    2006: 66 Goals (5.50 goals/game)
    2015: 66 Goals (5.50 goals/game)
    2008: 67 Goals (5.58 goals/game)
    2009: 71 Goals (5.92 goals/game)
    2005: 72 Goals (6.00 goals/game)
    2016: 74 Goals (6.17 goals/game)
    2021: 62 Goals (6.20 goals/game)*
    2003: 77 Goals (6.42 goals/game)
    2017: 78 Goals (6.50 goals/game)

    Does 19-20 not register due to the season going unfinished?

    Correct. The formula relies upon various data points to compare teams across years. Some of those data points include the NCAA Tournament games. So, if there was no NCAA Tournament that season, the formula would throw a weird result. Thus, I don't include teams from a non tournament season.

    That's why I think there is a chance UND ends up in Worcester playing Umass in Westerns regional.

    Highly unlikely that they will be placed in Western's regional. Committee has shown in years past that they try to keep the potential regional finals at 1/8, 2/7, 3/6, 4/5.  

     

    If the committee wants to avoid the possibility of an All-NCHC Frozen Four (which I don't believe they really care about), they can do so by pairing SCSU with Minnesota (who will almost certainly be placed with Western).  

  6. From the NCHC Website:

    TIE BREAKERS

    Seeding of teams for the NCHC Tournament shall be determined by the final NCHC standings at the end of the regular season. If two or more teams are tied for the regular-season championship, they shall be considered co-champions and both will receive a Penrose Cup.

    Positions for the NCHC Tournament are determined according to the following procedure. Three-on-three overtime and shootout results (other than the accumulation of points as a result of shootouts) will not be used to help break ties for NCHC Tournament seeding.

    1.   If two or more teams are tied in the standings and all teams have played a balanced scheduled against one another (equal number of home and away games between all teams tied), the seeding for the NCHC Tournament shall be determined by the team with the best NCHC regular-season regulation winning percentage among the games played against the other teams tied in the standings. If any of the teams tied have played an unbalanced schedule against any other team tied this criterion will not be used and the following criteria will apply;

    2.  If not determined by (1), the seeding for the NCHC Tournament shall be determined by the greater number of NCHC regulation wins;

    3.   If not determined by (1) or (2), the seeding for the NCHC Tournament shall be the team with the best NCHC regular-season regulation winning percentage among the games played against the other teams tied in the standings, regardless of the schedule being balanced among the teams tied;

    4.   If not determined by (1) or (2) or (3), the seeding for the NCHC Tournament shall be determined by comparison of total goals for and against each team in regulation in contests between (among) the other teams tied in the standings in NCHC regular-season play;

    5.   If not determined by (1) or (2) or (3) or (4), the seeding for the NCHC Tournament shall be determined by comparison of the regulation winning percentages of the teams tied in the standings against the remaining highest ranked NCHC teams, successively, until the determination is accomplished or all NCHC regular-season contests have been considered;

    6.   If not determined by (1) or (2) or (2) or (4) or (5), the seeding for the NCHC Tournament shall be determined by the flip of a coin.

    If Denver wins and we lose tomorrow its a shared league title. 

    We have the tiebreaker for playoff seeds.

    I think the seeding tiebreaker would go to Denver, unfortunately.  First tiebreaker doesn't count because there wasn't equal games played home/away.  Second tiebreaker is regulation wins.  If DU wins out, and we lose tomorrow, DU will have more regulation wins and would be the #1 seed.

    Unfortunately if they lose tonight, there's a very real chance at being 0-6 to start the new year.  SCSU next weekend is gonna be very tough.
    Hopefully they can pull this one out, but they're having a hard time generating much offense.

    It certainly could happen.  They could also sweep SCSU at home.  I'll watch either way.

    Feels like it though, doesn't it?  ;) 

    No.  

    I think those people who had realistic expectations for this year's team (fight for home ice and be on the bubble come NCAA Tournament time), expected that there would be ups and downs.  So, losing 3 in a row (or even 4 in a row if the game tonight does not turn around), is not unexpected.
